We have opened a complaint book and form and have strategically placed complaint boxes at the two College gates.

We have received various complaints on admissions, promotions, poor service for collection of Certificates, lateness of statements of results, attendance to patients at the Medical Unit, leakages of pipes, fumes, roofs etc. and have written to concerned offices to explain and address the problems and have written to relevant Units/Departments with the service delivery failure.
